Spanish Visa Documents Expire Before the Application Clears

“Hi! I’m trying to work out a visa path for myself and my family (husband & 4 yo child). My employer is a government agency in the USA, and I’ve gotten permission to work remotely from Spain. I thought this would make the DNV a perfect option to relocate, but having spoken to a few Spanish immigration attorneys, I am having doubts. They all give different advice, and some think it’s not possible at all because the DNV is only for employees of companies, not governments. My question is: has an”

“Hi everyone, I’m really worried about my Spanish visa. I applied for a Spanish Schengen visa for my trip to Spain with travel booked for Friday 18th August . My documents reached the Spanish Consulate in Manchester on the 25th, and the tracking has shown “processing at mission” since then. I still haven’t received any email, update or decision, and my trip is very soon. I’ve tried to contact them but I can’t get any feedback or speak to anyone about my application . Has anyone had the same exper”

“Hi everyone, hoping to get some real-world experience/advice here. Background: I'm a Vietnamese national and currently a legal resident in Belgium (residence card from an Erasmus Mundus mobility program). My card expires on 31 October. I'm applying for a long-stay Spanish student visa (visado de estancia por estudios) to attend an intensive Spanish course in Barcelona, submitting my application at the Spanish Consulate in Brussels (since that's where I legally reside). The consulate”

“Hi! I did my visa for Spain - under 180 days study visa on July 13th. I’ve heard NOTHING. I jsut realised my university acceptance letter has my OLD passport number on it. Is this an issue and should I send an email with my old passport scan to clarify even if the haven’t asked.

“Hi everyone, I’m applying for a Spanish national researcher visa from India. My application is currently being processed, but the Spanish Consulate told me that the visa will only be issued after they receive the pending documents. The only document still pending is a German Police Clearance Certificate since I was residing in Germany a year ago. I have already applied for it and submitted proof of my application with my visa application, but I have no way to get a clear status update or process”

“Hello everyone! Hope you're good:) I'm thinking to move to Spain to do my masters on next year, but I was reading one the requirements are to send the police certificate of the countries that I've ever been in the past 5 years.

Can someone share their experience regarding that? They really asked”

“Hello- I’m having a crisis and can’t find info anywhere. I’m supposed to start my master’s program in October in Spain. My visa application was pending but I just got a letter from the health insurance that my plan was rejected. After reaching out to multiple health insurance companies/brokers it appears that 1) I didn’t need to put cancer on my application because it was ten years ago. 2) My BMI was above the accepted level of insurance. In fairness, since cancer, I have not been able to lose w”

“I'm an EU Erasmus student in Madrid for 5 months at URJC. Since 15 June 2026, new Personal TTP applications apparently require empadronamiento. My landlord explicitly doesn't allow padrón, and I don't want to risk losing my accommodation. URJC doesn't know a solution, and 10-trip tickets aren't realistic because I'll use Metro/EMT constantly. Do you know how an Erasmus/international student could have a legal way after 15 June 2026 to get the €10 Abono Joven with”

“Hey guys, I had my DNV visa approved from inside Spain. I was in Spain for 72 days before leaving and going back to my home country. Unfortunately we didn't succeed to get out TIE appointment yet, but that's not the issue since I still have my Schengen days (we don't need visa for 90days) and I can show my DNV approval on the border and I can be let in. I assume my Schengen days won't be counted towards these 90 days anymore since I am entering Spain as resident now, so I am stil”

“Hi I know it says the official time for a visa decision is a month from the date, I was wondering if that’s the case for every visa and it always a month or it’s UP TOO a month and usually takes less time than that?

“Hi there, I am applying for a resident permit. I have all the documents ready but my CITA has been scheduled for the 4th of September. I got my Criminal Record back on the 6th of June, does Spain also have a 3 month rule on Criminal Records, do you think mine will still be valid for my CITA or will I need to get a new one?

“No risk, no reward? Debating all my pathways and I have the time--is it possible to go to Spain on a tourist visa (is there a better option/visa?) and spend some time searching and networking while there, then apply for a potential nomad or working visa once I figure the 'job' first. I would travel with a US passport or Mexican passport (both offer similar types of visas) submitted by /u/Ok_Sound_5616 [link] [comments]”

“Hey everyone, I am currently in the process of applying for my student visa modification ( Autorización de Estancia por Estudios ) from within Spain for a Master’s program in Granada. I’ve hit a weird roadblock with my immigration lawyer and want to see if anyone else has experienced this or if she’s completely mistaken.
